Victoria Beckham's FW26 Takes Inspiration From Art Deco Artist Tamara de Łempicka

Reimagining the concept of power dressing.

Victoria Beckham presented her Fall/Winter 2026 collection during Paris Fashion Week this season, taking inspiration from the works of Polish painter and Art Deco artist, Tamara de Łempicka.

Taking the art of dressing and likening it to painting a portrait, this season’s collection focused on the process of composing and using the body as a canvas. Exploring themes of self-perception, reinvention and resilience, FW26 redefines the concept of “power dressing” through a blend of strength and fragility.

Showcased through the styling and layering, these themes were characterized by organza slips, crinoline skirts and embroidered, transparent dresses. Paired with structured knitwear, trench coats and heavy leathers, the juxtaposition of strong and heavy with light and delicate was immediately evident.

Rooted in seasonal hues, the collection felt grounded by dark greens, rich blues and forest greens, occasionally punctuated by hits of cream, rust orange and light blue. Sculptures from paintings influenced the final few looks, resulting in evening gowns with sharp angles and cut-outs, pairing sensual details and skin reveals with strong cuts and tailoring. Adding to this season’s influences is an “equestrian energy,” as stated in the collection notes, showcased through jodhpurs and ankle zips.

Overall, the collection felt confident and assured, whilst still able to display moments of vulnerability and sensuality. Given the current headlines surrounding the designer’s family life and controversies, FW26 felt like a reflection of resilience. Indirectly then, it was perhaps one of Beckham’s most personal collections to date.

Check out some of our favorite looks from the collection above. For more from PFW, check out our latest recap.
